According to the timing clock provided by the embodiment of the application, the timing mechanism 1 is utilized to link the control mechanism 2 in the working process of timing and metering, the control mechanism 2 can be reset when not acted by external force, and the start and stop control of the timing mechanism 3 is fully realized through the reset actions of the linked control mechanism 2 and the control mechanism 2. In combination with the time-reporting period of the time-reporting mechanism 3, if 12 hours are set as one time-reporting period, the timing mechanism 1 is linked with the control mechanism 2 once every hour, so that the time-reporting mechanism 3 can start and stop 12 times in one time-reporting period, correspondingly, the first time of starting and stopping the bell 1 time in the time-reporting period, the second time of starting and stopping the bell 2 times, and so on, the twelfth time of starting and stopping the bell 12 times, and then entering the next time-reporting period can be further set.

In summary, the timing clock provided by the application has novel structure and flexible timing mode, and can fully meet the actual demands of people.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 3, 5 and 6, the time-setting mechanism 3 includes a time-setting driving structure 30, and a first adjusting structure 32 and a second adjusting structure 33 that are in transmission connection with the time-setting driving structure 30, and the control mechanism 2 resets and locks the first adjusting structure 32 and the second adjusting structure 33 in a non-linkage state to close the time-setting mechanism 3 and stop ringing time-setting; the control mechanism 2 releases the first adjusting structure 32 and the second adjusting structure 33 in a linkage state to open the time-telling mechanism 3 and perform specific bell-ringing time-telling operation.

It can be understood that the first adjusting structure 32 and the second adjusting structure 33 in the embodiment of the present application cooperate to realize linkage with the timing mechanism 1, and at the same time, realize start-stop control of the timing mechanism 3.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6, the first adjusting structure 32 includes a connecting gear 311 and a gear ring 312, the connecting gear 311 engages an inner ring (i.e. an inner circumference) of the gear ring 312 and is connected to the time signal driving structure 30, the gear ring 312 is rotatably disposed on the frame 4, an outer ring (i.e. an outer circumference coaxial with and opposite to the inner circumference) of the gear ring 312 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of slots 313 for clamping the control mechanism 2, and a space (specifically, an outer circle Zhou Huchang between end surfaces of the adjacent two slots 313 close to each other) is reserved between the adjacent two slots 313, the space corresponds to the number of rings, and the gear ring 312 rotates one time signal period.

According to the first adjusting structure 32 of the embodiment of the present application, the gear ring 312 is in transmission connection with the time-telling driving structure 30 through the connecting gear 311, when the control mechanism 2 is clamped into one notch 313, the gear ring 312 is limited and cannot rotate, and further the time-telling driving structure 30 in transmission connection with the gear ring is not operated, so that the whole time-telling mechanism 3 stops operating; when the control mechanism 2 is disengaged from one notch 313 and is snapped into the next adjacent notch 313, the gear ring 312 is rotated by a certain angle while the striking drive 30 is operated for a period of time, at which time the entire striking mechanism 3 is in an open state and performs a bell striking operation.

It can be understood that the longer the outer circumference arc length corresponding to the above-mentioned interval, the longer the running time of the ringing time work, the more ringing times can be made. Similarly, if the two pitches are the same, the corresponding ringing times are the same. Therefore, considering the distinguishing requirement of different time points, it may be set that the lengths of all the intervals are sequentially increased from the start end of the time period to the end of the time period (i.e. the later intervals are longer) in the whole time period, so as to distinguish different time points by increasing the time number.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6, the second adjusting structure 33 includes a speed adjusting input shaft 314, a speed adjusting input gear 315, a speed adjusting secondary gear 316, a speed adjusting output gear 317, a speed adjusting output shaft 318 and a speed adjusting fan 319, wherein the speed adjusting input shaft 314 is rotatably disposed on the frame 4, the speed adjusting input gear 315 is fixedly mounted (all the fixed mounting in the present application refers to being relatively fixed, but not detachable) on one end of the speed adjusting input shaft 314 and is in driving connection with the time signal driving structure 30, the speed adjusting secondary gear 316 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the speed adjusting input shaft 314, a snap ring 3160 (the shape of the snap ring 3160 is similar to a C-shape) with a notch is coaxially disposed on one side of the speed adjusting secondary gear 316, the control mechanism 2 is inserted into the notch 313 and abuts against the notch end of the snap ring 3160 in a non-linked state, and the control mechanism 2 is separated from the notch 313 and far from the notch end of the snap ring 3160 in a linked state; further, a speed regulation output shaft 318 is rotatably disposed on the frame 4 and is in driving connection with the speed regulation secondary gear 316 through a speed regulation output gear 317, and a speed regulation fan 319 is fixedly installed at an end of the speed regulation output shaft 318 and exposed to the outside of the entire frame 4.

According to the second adjusting structure 33 of the embodiment of the present application, the speed regulation secondary gear 316 is in transmission connection with the time-telling driving structure 30 through the speed regulation input shaft 314, and since the opening operation of the time-telling mechanism 3 requires the control mechanism 2 to simultaneously release the speed regulation secondary gear 316 and the gear ring 312, the start-stop control and time-telling process of the whole time-telling mechanism 3 are realized by means of the speed regulation secondary gear 316 and the gear ring 312 in cooperation with the control mechanism 2.

Further, the second adjusting structure 33 further includes a speed adjusting fan 319 drivingly connected to the time signal driving structure 30 through a speed adjusting secondary gear 316, and as the rotation speed of the time signal driving structure 30 increases, the rotation speed of the speed adjusting fan 319 increases, and the resistance acting thereon increases and the rotation speed of the time signal driving structure 30 is feedback-adjusted, so that the speed adjusting fan 319 can play a role in adjusting the rotation speed.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6, the time-reporting mechanism 3 further includes a bell-ringing structure 34, and the bell-ringing structure 34 can be linked at least once by the time-reporting driving structure 30 in the open state to perform specific time-ringing operation.

Specifically, during the winding operation, the second connecting sleeve 323 and the second ratchet 306 are driven to rotate (the second ratchet 306 is not clamped with the second pawl 305, so that the time-striking driving gear 303 and the time-striking main shaft 307 are not driven to rotate), so that the second driving hammer 301 is lifted, and the purpose of accumulating gravitational potential energy can be achieved. At this time, since the time-telling drive gear 303 and the time-telling main shaft 307 do not rotate, the whole time-telling mechanism 3 is in a closed state, and time-telling work is not performed; when the striking mechanism 3 is started, the striking drive gear 303 is engaged with the second ratchet 306 via the second pawl 305, and can rotate as the second drive hammer 301 falls, so that a specific striking drive operation can be performed.

According to the second winding structure 31 of the embodiment of the present application, the second winding gear 308, the second winding secondary gear 310, the second connecting sleeve 323 and the second ratchet 306 can be sequentially driven to rotate by rotating the second winding shaft 309, so that the second connecting bar 302 is wound up, and the second driving hammer 301 is lifted up, so as to complete the winding work of the time-telling driving structure 30.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8, the bell structure 34 includes a swinging rod 320, a striking bell 321 and a suspension 322, wherein the suspension 322 is disposed at a top end of the frame 4, the striking bell 321 is suspended on the suspension 322, the swinging rod 320 is rotatably disposed on the frame 4 and can be reset, a plurality of third linkage pins 3030 are circumferentially disposed on a side of the striking driving gear 303, which is close to the swinging rod 320, one end of the swinging rod 320 is used for rotating and striking the striking bell 321, and the other end is used for working in cooperation with the third linkage pins 3030.

Specifically, when the first baffle 2030 blocks the notch end of the snap ring 3160, the second baffle 2040 is clamped in the notch 313 and/or the third baffle 2050 blocks the notch end of the snap ring 3160, the closing of the striking mechanism 3 can be achieved; when the first baffle 2030 is away from the notched end of the snap ring 3160, the second baffle 2040 is completely disengaged from the notch 313, and the third baffle 2050 is away from the notched end of the snap ring 3160, the striking mechanism 3 can be completely opened.

The second shutter 2040 in the closed state is set here to be completely caught in the notch 313 while the third shutter 2050 abuts against the notched end of the snap ring 3160, and the first shutter 2030 is located inside the snap ring 3160. When the first rotating plate 202 starts to rotate upwards under the action of the timing mechanism 1, the first baffle 2030 is set to not enter the notch of the snap ring 3160, and the whole timing mechanism 3 cannot operate; when the first rotating plate 202 continues to rotate and pushes the fourth rotating plate 205 to rotate, the second baffle 2040 starts to separate from the notch 313, the third baffle 2050 starts to separate from the notch end of the snap ring 3160, at this time, the first baffle 2030 is still located inside the snap ring 3160, and the time-reporting mechanism 3 cannot be started; when the first rotating plate 202 continues to rotate until the second baffle 2040 is completely separated from the notch 313 and the third baffle 2050 is completely separated from the notch end of the snap ring 3160, the speed regulation secondary gear 316 rotates with the gear ring 312, at this time, the speed regulation secondary gear 316 should rotate by an angle corresponding to the notch of the snap ring 3160, and then the first baffle 2030 abuts against the notch end of the snap ring 3160, at this time, the time-telling mechanism 3 is not fully started; when the first rotating plate 202 rotates to the highest point and returns to reset, the whole control mechanism 2 starts to reset, the first baffle 2030 falls to the notch end which does not support the snap ring 3160, the third baffle 2050 falls back on the outer ring side wall of the snap ring 3160, meanwhile, the second baffle 2040 falls on the outer circumferential surface of the gear ring 312, the whole time-reporting mechanism 3 is completely opened, and the operation is started and specific bell-ringing time-reporting work is performed.

It will be appreciated that the above-described action includes a non-fully activated condition, which is designed to ensure that the second shutter 2040 is sufficiently disengaged from the notch 313 during the opening process, so that the second shutter 2040 does not fall into the same notch 313 when the third rotating plate 204 falls back, affecting the normal activation of the entire striking mechanism 3.

It will be appreciated that the second barrier 2040 will slide against the outer circumferential surface of the ring gear 312 into the next notch 313, and that the third barrier 2050 will preferably bear against the notched end of the snap ring 3160 in the same position to fully secure the locking closure.

Further, as can be seen from fig. 7, when the intervals between two adjacent notches 313 are set to be different, it should be ensured that the number of turns of the speed regulation secondary gear 316 corresponding to each interval is a positive integer greater than 1, so that the whole time-telling mechanism 3 rings at least once when each turn of the speed regulation secondary gear 316 is set, thereby fully ensuring that each time point in the time-telling period has a ringing effect, and fully achieving the purpose of distinguishing the time points.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 7, in the case that the striking period is set to 12 hours, 12 notches 313 with the same size should be theoretically disposed on the outer circumference of the ring gear 312, but in combination with the actual machining situation, considering that the interaction point between the beginning and the end of the striking period is more special, that is, the interval between 11 points and 12 points is longest, and the interval between 12 points and 1 point is shortest, and the interval between 12 points and 1 point is even smaller than the width of the second baffle 2040, so that the interval is directly removed, and two notches 313 are directly connected, so that one notch 313 with the widest width is formed, and the sizes of the remaining notches 313 are the same, as shown in fig. 7.

It will be appreciated that the striking mechanism 3 can be normally opened between 12 and 1 points, but it is necessary to rely on the third plate 2050 to bear against the notched end of the snap ring 3160 when closed, while the second plate 2040 rests in the middle of the widest slot 313.
